Top Tech Startups in Europe in 2027

Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, but it is also one of the least technologically innovative spaces. Conducting fast and accurate cost estimates is a massive pain point because of the tedious nature of takeoffs (measuring & counting materials needed from the drawings). Bobyard automates the construction takeoff process with CV and NLP models to make cost estimates 10x faster while eliminating mistakes. We are a lean startup backed by some of the best VCs in the world: 8VC, Primary, and Pear. Almost all of the work lies ahead of us. We are excited to create next-gen software for the built world!

Ando is building AI-native workforce infrastructure for shift-based work, starting with highly accurate AI-generated demand forecasting and autonomous labor allocation. Labor is one of the largest and least modernized systems in the economy. Most workforce tools are static, rules-based, and UI-driven. They create schedules, but they do not understand demand, uncertainty, or real-world tradeoffs. The result is wasted labor, constant manual intervention, and unstable hours for workers. This is not a scheduling UI problem. It is a systems problem: forecasting under uncertainty, constrained optimization, feedback loops, and learning from noisy production data. Models must operate in the wild, adapt continuously, and balance business, worker, and operational constraints. Our core intelligence layer combines demand modeling, optimization, and human-in-the-loop signals to improve allocation decisions over time, compounding into a persistent labor graph across skills, availability, reliability, and performance.

What are we building? Software was supposed to help us. Instead, it swallowed the working day. Everywhere you look people are buried under the burden of software. We are starting with automating email, turning it from a burden into a powerful competitive edge for people who grow businesses and build a reputation in their inbox. Think real estate, consultants, recruiters - people who spend hours on emails, scheduling, and follow ups. Unlike other startups, we're a pure-play applied AI company and not a SaaS company with AI features hastily bolted on. We use the best techniques (fine-tuned open-source models, tool use, and retrieval-augmented generation), and as a result, users send 53% of the email drafts we generate. How has it been going? From $1M to $25M ARR in the last 10 months, making us the fastest growing startup ever in the UK. We are backed by top-tier investors including: Marc Benioff (Founder of Salesforce), Harry Stebbings (Founder of 20VC), Douwe Kiela (Founder/CEO Contextual AI/Creator of RAG), David Singleton (Former CTO of Stripe), Des Traynor (CTO Intercom), Madrona (First Investors in Amazon/Snowflake). What do we value? We're very intentional about adding new people. We believe a small team of exceptional people working hard at a problem they care about will always outperform a larger, more unfocused team. That means you'll need to bring an intensity to this role that might not be expected at other companies but it also means you'll be fast-tracked into roles with greater responsibilities far earlier.
